RPC or TCP/IP?



Hi.

Is there any compelling reason to use RPC's instead of TCP/IP directly? Both
NFS and CODA use RPCs.

Instead of calling an RPC function directly, why can't I sent the command
over as plain text and have it interpreteded and executed on the server?
e.g. FTP offers us the ability to move around a remote file system, open and
close files, mk dirs etc withiout RPC...
